A journey of self-reflection led to the creation of Caveri—a brand dedicated to mindful living and sustainable travel.
Caveri designs luxury travel accessories that balance sophistication and eco-consciousness. Each product reflects a commitment to sustainability and a philosophy of intentional design.
As more consumers prioritise understanding where and how their products are made, the stories behind them and their sustainability, Caveri has carved out a niche perfectly aligned with these values, says founder Julia Vilath, who showcased her products at AGHA Gift + Home Expo from 15 to 18 February at Sydney Showground.
“Caveri is more than a brand; it represents healing and mindful living,” she explains.
“Our luxury travel accessories are designed with sustainability and intentionality, offering practical solutions that honour both the journey and our planet. We also aim to foster a community of authentic connections and responsible living, aligning with the values of today’s discerning, eco-conscious consumers.”
From refugee to corporate professional to entrepreneur, Vilath’s journey is one of resilience, growth and the courage to drive meaningful change. Arriving in Australia as a refugee with her family in 1988 from war-torn Cambodia, they had little more than second-hand clothing and a determination to survive.
“In Australia, I became the first in my family to complete school and earned a bachelor’s degree in computer science with honours at UTS. I went on to build a successful corporate career over two decades. In 2023, however, I left the corporate world, seeking greater purpose. This period of self-reflection and transformation led to the creation of Caveri.”
Success is not just about external achievements but also about the impact we make on others and the planet, she adds.
“As a female founder, I strive to raise industry standards, foster genuine relationships and inspire others to align their businesses with their core values. Through Caveri, I hope to share a legacy of resilience, transformation and the belief that adversity can become the catalyst for creating a better future—for ourselves and others.
“By combining sustainability with thoughtful design, Caveri inspires travellers to embrace meaningful journeys while honouring the planet. My story, from refugee to entrepreneur, serves as a reminder that adversity can fuel profound change and through conscious choices, we can all contribute to a better future.”
